ABSTRACT
The value of the noninvasive diagnostic methods for vascular disease is worthy of emphasis. In many studies, the diagnostic abnormal findings of the vascular disease were reported. But there were a few studies for normal human vasculatures measuring with noninvasive diagnostic methods. And more, there is few data for vasculature of Oriental people, especially of the Korean population. The authors examed 20 healthy persons without any vascular disease by using the noninvasive vascular diagnostic tool-duplex scan and air plethysmography. The knowledge of the normal data of human vasculature, especially Korean population, will improve the sensitivity and specificity of the noninvasive vascular diagnostic methods. It is not appropriate to presume that this report with analysis of only 20 cases represent the normal data of Korean population. Further collection of the data is needed to define the normal data of vasculature of Korean population.
